This concert of free music is the culmination of a week-long collaboration designed to open new pathways of interaction among ourselves and electronic sound. Structured around a series of unique prompts we developed, this process is situated within our long standing improvisation practice and continuing drive to sustain our aesthetic evolution, and also the rich tradition of creative musicians from whom we draw inspiration, notably Anthony Braxton, George Lewis, Pauline Oliveros, and Wadada Leo Smith. The electronic sound generation is composed of a collection of custom signal processing modules that are driven by audio-reactive modulation, stochastic algorithms, and physical control interfaces.
